SE👩🏼🍳BACK TO BASICS: Idiot-Proof Omelet. This is my go-to method for a fuss-free and delicious omelet#. I typically beat 3 eggs with a little kosher salt (I don’t add milk/cream or water, but you do you!) and cook my omelet in a 10-inch skillet.
__
1️⃣ Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2️⃣ Reduce the heat to medium-low and add a little butter for flavor and added nonstick assurance. Once the butter is melted and frothy, reduce the heat to low and pour in beaten eggs. Immediately start pulling the eggs away from the sides of the pan toward the center with your spatula. With each pull, tilt the pan toward the hole created to allow the uncooked eggs to flow into the holes created. Keep doing this (you can make smaller and smaller pulls and tilts as the eggs start to set) until there’s no more runny egg and the bottom of the omelet is just set. This process should only take about 30 seconds, max. (The top of the omelet will still look very wet at this point.)
3️⃣ Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid for 30-60 seconds to steam the eggs and help them set but remain soft. Be careful not to overdo it here! You want the eggs to be just set, not dry and rubbery. (With that said, if you prefer a more well-done omelet, you’ll need another minute or two with the lid on.) Add fillings to one half of the omelet, then fold the empty half over the filling to close.
4️⃣ Place a plate on top of the pan, then invert the pan so that the omelet falls cleanly onto the plate.
